Shadowmoon Valley

Shadowmoon Valley is a fel-infused zone intended for level 67-70 players in southeastern Outland. Illidan Stormrage resides there in the Black Temple, as well as Maiev Shadowsong, held captive there by the Broken. There are several elite areas that document the destruction of the Burning Legion, as well as Illidan's methods of training demon hunters.

This is one of the new zones in Outland in the Burning Crusade. It is home to the The Black Temple, Illidan's Lair here in Outland.

Shadowmoon Valley is also a higher level zone, as in level 67-70, and is not recommended to come here if you are not that high yet.

Illidan was jailed in Hyjal, but the actual NPC is in an instance in this zone.

You can buy a flying mount in this zone at Wildhammer Stronghold.

Comment by Stapler

Questing in Shadowmoon Valley will get you some nice gear for all level 70 instances plus they amount you quite nice money. Only drawback will be that a lot of chains have group quests in them but if you can find some friends or guildies it's a nice zone to quest in.

Anyone knows if theres any secret quests, like 1 that is hidden in the mountains...?

Comment by sheepe2004

There is a wanted poster for Wanted: Uvruos, Scourge of Shadowmoon for the alliance which isn't marked on the quest map for some reason. It's inside wildhammer stronghold at 38.1 54.1

Does anyone know what the scroll is used for behind The summoning stone for the Black Temple ?

It has a cog for use - Although whenever you click it, it does nothing just goes back to being usable again.

Comment by riparetti

Make good use of this, and come here halfway (or 3/4) into 69.

This place was a bitch to me. I only reccomend coming here to earn xp.

Save your group quests, though. You will probably do those later on.

Theres 3 flightpaths.Wildhammer, Aldor FP, and Scryers FP. Scryers is to the right of Wildhammer.Aldors is above Black Temple.

For whatever strange reason, there are patrolling elites in almost every area of Shadowmoon. Don't be surprised when you get killed repeatedly by them.

Comment by Ashamai

How do you get here?

Comment by Faang

The best way to earn loads of money really fast is not to quest here or in Netherstorm until the big mark where quest begin to give money instead of experience.

So in other words You're wanting us to grind out about 2.3 million experience so when we hit 70 you go quest in Shadowmoon Valley and Netherstorm to get gold. Thats a joke.

Maybe to some people they would actually do that but for me personally I'd not do it.

You have quests in Nagrand, Blade's Edge, and perhaps Terrokkar and Zangar to get money from.

Shadowmoon Valley is a very place for gold farming or Aldor Reputation farming if you need it. Click for map; Legion Hold is circled, this is a great place to kill demons for Marks of the Sargeras and the occasional Fel Armament. A decently geared level seventy should be able to kill several demons without the need to take a break.

Comment by TreeWhalee

I Recomend coming here at 68;; The quests are all yellow and its a little easier to kill the 70's

Comment by muffinnmann

In my opinion, this area is home to some of the most fun quests in the game. You can control a fel reaver, and have an epic 1v1 battle with a ?? elite with another ?? elite you control. I personaly failed both of these many times so I could do them agian. :p

Comment by Verydarklord

Most likely this zone (along with the Netherstorm) will be Silithus v.2.0 after Wrath of the Lich King launch.

Comment by Saltiren10

A weird this here is that if you look at the map of this zone you see slime running off of the region, where does it go?

Comment by kninjamaster

actually you will lvl real fast if you stick to killing the "floating green eyes" in the black temple -they have 350+ life(just make sure that you kill them before they see u)-Rogue

Comment by thelandarian

The quests here are considerably more difficult than those of many other zones. Many are group quests; many others have you going into narrow areas with large crowds of quickly-respawning mobs (Deathforge, Path of Conquest, etc.). The payoff is decent if you're taking time to gain in gear and reputation while leveling. Plus, this is one of those zones where you can have a sense of accomplishment for the work you put in. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself rather frustrated along the way! I would say this has been probably the most challenging zone for me to level in.

A past version of Shadowmoon Valley before it looked like this will feature in Warlords of Draenor, the upcoming expansion. It is the Alliance starting zone and their city is Karabor, the past Black Temple.
